Curve Evolution


Property 5: The algorithm is stable to noisy deformations

Since the algorithm is able to detect vertices containing important shape information, noise is removed first.

The image on the right is a typical example:
The left column shows the evolution of the original data, in the right column the original data is deformed by random noise. The evolution leads to similar steps of abstraction.

If your browser supports JAVA APPLETS, you can click here to see the evolution of a shape deformed by random noise.
